Question

Express the linear equations $x=3y$ in the form $ax+by+c=0$ and indicate the values of $a,b$ and $c$.

Answer 1

Step : Compare the equations

The given equation is,

$x=3y$

This can be rewritten as,

$1.x-3y+0=0$

Comparing this with the standard equation,

$ax+by+c=0$

We get, $a=1,b=-3,c=0$

Hence the value of $a,b$ and $c$ is $1,-3$ and $0$.
